ABOUT ME

A neurodivergent counsellor rooted in compassion, authenticity, humour, and the deep belief in the inner wisdom of women.​​

 

I’m Christine, a Registered Social Service Worker, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional, and IFS-trained therapist. I support women through the emotional, hormonal, and identity shifts of womanhood using a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach.

​

I help you untangle overwhelm, identity shifts, and nervous-system stress—especially when neurodivergence, motherhood, or life transitions are part of the picture.

​

My work is deeply shaped by lived experience. After the birth of my third child, I experienced postpartum anxiety and depression—an unexpected chapter that ultimately led me back to school and into counselling. Because of this, I show up not only as a trained therapist, but as someone who truly understands how heavy and overwhelming this season can feel. Healing and recovery are possible, and I’ve lived that truth myself.

​

Later in life, following my son’s ADHD diagnosis, I was also diagnosed with ADHD. This gave me a new understanding of how neurodivergence influenced my perinatal experiences and now informs how I support clients exploring diagnosis, identity, coping systems, and the grief that can come with these discoveries.

 

Outside of sessions, I’m a neurodivergent mom to three boys and two dogs, navigating perimenopause with 90s music on repeat, time in the forest, and plenty of tea.

What it’s like to work with me

My approach blends:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Trauma-informed, culturally responsive and neurodiversity-affirming support

• Psycho-education and skill building tailored to different nervous systems and learning styles

• Mind–body awareness and nervous system regulation

• A grounded spiritual lens

 

I bring my authentic self into the counselling space—always compassionate, always real, and sometimes humorous—so you can feel comfortable bringing your full self, including the parts that may have learned to mask, over function, or stay hidden to survive.

​

My work is rooted in empowered compassion and a neurodiversity-affirming understanding that there is nothing “wrong” with your nervous system. Every woman carries an inner Self capable of leading her toward clarity, healing, and wholeness—at her own pace, in her own way.

​

I support women across all life seasons—fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, perimenopause, menopause, and major life transitions—while also supporting women who are exploring, questioning, or receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis, and honouring how hormonal shifts, sensory needs, and cognitive differences shape these experiences.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
